DIR. HALLS GEORGIA DOMAIN.
A Proposal to Give Away Land That
Isn't Clearly Located.
rom he Jacksonville lFld) Times Unioa'

From TIE Jacksonville tFld.) Times Union.
DR.. J. H. Hall was called on by Times
linton reporter Wednesday who asked HIM
regarding his offer Of ZOO acres of land
u the Irish sufferers The Doctor was not
communicative in that degree that is so
clear 10 the heart of a Quill driver, in fact
he almost refused to say word.
DR.. Hall has an Office on the third floor OF
the Robinson block, at 63l& West Bay, ana,
when called upon, he was busily engaged IN
writing. In reply TO the reporters ques-
tons he said that he would have nothing to
saw By dint of considerable persuasion,
he finally said that the land offered lies in
the central portion Of Georgia, but he would
not divulge the names OF the counties IN
which it is situated. With these statements
he resumed his writing.
The questioner continued in his EFFORTS 10
pump him, but couI get nothing from him
except note which he hurrlediy wrote on
the back of a letter head and which read as
follows:
Il have withdrawn the grant, and there Is
no object in presenting the mater Iurther'

After showing the reporter paper printed
in Cork county, he evidently relented .hght-
ly from his first determination to say noun
ing. He stated that the publication OF LIS
card was a breach OF trust, as II was IN
tended only as piece Of private intorma-
ton to the editor. and also as a note of IN
quiry as TO how it might be the better placed
before the public No official recognition
having been taken by the leaders IN the
Irish question. he had withdrawn the ofer.
He added that his agent is now in Georgia
surveying the lands in question, and that
when it is completed he will present 900
acres to a committee of three trustees. for
the benefit of the Young Mems Christian
Association, Of Jacksonville, His reasons
for placing the land in the hands of these
trustees was the trouble he would have with
it. He stated that he had received any
number of letters, from persons in every
part of the United States, asking why he
did not present the land TO the poor of
America instead Of going across the Allan
tic TO find objects OF charity.
The doctor has nothing of the appearance
of bloated land owner, and he does not
seem much concerned on account of the
statement of leading land experts in Georgia
that they know of no such body of land in
the State as that which was so generously
placed at the disposal of the Irish people,
and which they have not made rush to ac-
cept. The doctor has not yet described the
metes and bounds of the land he proposes to
present to the Young Mems Christian Asso-

British Convict Prisons.
From the London Times

The directors of convict prisons have
issued their report for the year 1867, from
which it appears that there has been "a
great and progressive decrease in the num-
Der of sentences for serious crimes The
yearly average number of persons sentenced
on indictment TO penal servitude in England
and Wales was, during the two years ended
1886, 9GS as against ,421 during the five
years ended 1894, and l ,6353 during a CORE
spending period ended 1879. As compared
with the quinquenuial periods ending in
1859, when the number was 2,5s9, and IN
1864, when the total reached $500,
the diminution is still more striking.
In recent years there has been a steady de-
cline in our convict prison population,
which in July last stood at 1,44l. From
1859 to 1878, inclusive, the numbers ranged
between IL 900 and $1,000, and from 1874 to
1888 inclusive, from 10000 to II, 900. Since
the latter date, the decrease has been each
year marked and regular The number of
soldiers, sailors and marines in convict
prisons under sentence of court martial has
decreased from so in 1884 to 121 on July
l6, 1887. Milbank prison, which has been
principally used for local prisoners since
October. 1888, but which contained GER
tain number of convicts up to April %,
1886, has ceased to receive any since
that date The directors record a very
remarkable decrease in the number
of female convicts, which has fallen
in the last ten years from 40 to 106 The
directors record their sense of the obligation
under which the public lie to the managers
of the Westminster Memorial Refuge for
the trouble they have taken during the last
fifteen years, and express their hope that
some means may be foundof supplying the
assistance formerly rendered by the man
ayers, but now withdrawn in consequence
of the fact that the number eligible for the
privilege of admission to that institution has
fallen below what is necessary to enable the
establishment TO pay its expenses, although
a grant is made by government of los.
week for each prisoner, who was also
furnished with good supply of clothing on
coming 10 the refuge. The contemplated
closing of WorAwood Scrubs Prison as
convict establishment, in order that it may
be appropriated for local prisoners instead
of Mithauk has made it necessary TO pro-
vide elsewhere for the ma utacturing in
dustries carried on there. Two of the large
halls of Chatham convict prison have there
fore been converted into workshops, the APP
preaching completion of the docks and
works having made it unnecessary for some
time past to have accommodation in this
prison for so large a number of prisoners as
in former years.

MEDICAL.
Children.

Parents are very often worried about a
child that shows signs of dropping and loss
of appetite and no desire to join in the sports
of their playmates. 1t is hardly serious
enough to require a physician, but it is
plain that the child needs something. 1t is
not prudent to force into the young and I'M
developed systems strong and nauseous
drugs, but a medicine that will aid, invig-
crate enliven and thoroughly cleanse the
system by gentle means is what is desired,
Simmons Liver Regulator is a medicine of
this kind The child will not rebel against
taking it, because it is not unpleasant to the
taste; it does not compel them to remain
indoors, and it does not weaken or injure
the system. 1t can safely be administered
to the youngest infant

my family for eight or ten years and found
it the best family medicine l ever used for
anything that may happen. "-OvID G..

Some funny things happened at the ex-
position. For instance:
Yesterday portly woman numbered her
way into the sculpture gallery accompanied
by sallow-f faced, red-haired female with a
scornful cast of countenance. The large
woman looked about her contemptu-
ously. As she looked her disgust grew apace
and finally she calculated between short
pufis:
"Come on, Sairy. Let's get out o. here.
They amt nothin' in here but fellows with
out any legs" and she strobe out, followed
by ''Sairy.n

on in open mouthed establishment; in fact,
the conductor had to push him out at the
top before he could gather his wits sufii-
GENTLY to say anything. At last he managed
to say:

DEPesIT Your MONEY IN BANKS

DEPOSIT Your MONEY IN BANKS.
Our telsgrapbic dispatches a day
Or two since mentioned that Ali cid
farmer in county in Maine who
kept his money at home was as
saulted the other night and robbed
of $4,000. Had this old gentleman
put his money in the nearest bank
or banks both it and himself would
have been safe, and it would haye
done his community a benefit by its
use. A large number of such rob-
berries occur throughoutthe country,
and it is not best for z man to keep
his money in his htuso where it can
be subjected TO the depredations of
thieves or the dangers of fire. There
are largo number of thousands of
dollars in the hands Of farmers of
Budcombe, Madison and other sur
rounding counties. 1t would be far
safer for this money to be deposited
in the banks far safe keeping. The
man VINO deposits can IraW IL out
at his pleasure, in such sums as he
might wish, by giving a check on
the bank in which it is deposited
The banks of Asheville are unusu-
ally we'll managed and perfectly re-
liable, and the depositor could al~
ways find his money when hecalIed
or sent for it. TLis will be safe for
the dspositor, and be of great bene-
fit to the banks by keeping the
money in circulation. We call the
attention of our country friends to
the Importance of this matter. We
would greatly regret to publish that
one or more of our farmer friends
that suffered the misfortune of be-.
ing robbed Of the results of their
labor. And all who keep money
in their homes are liable TO such
accident.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-SENATE
a letter from the Secretary OF the
Interior was laid before the Senate
stating that an appropriation o.
II ,495 dollars is Cqnired to com
plete the publica on of the final re
port otj the census Of 1880, four OF
the % volumes being still imprinted
Laid on the table, after the pra-
sen tations of various other commu-
nicalions from the hands Of depart
ment., and court of claims, Mr.. Cul-
lOnl remarked that the rule was
when bills are introduced before the
committees are appointed, to have
such bills laid on the table and that
created unnecessary work. He,
therefore, moved that the Senate adj
iourn. But he withdrew the motion
temporarily to permit Mr.. Plumb
to offer a resolution calling on the
Commissioner Of Agriculture for in>
formation as to whether any per-
sou in the employment Cf that des
partment who was making expert
ments as to the manufacture of
sugar from sorghum had obtained
or applied for a patent or patents
connected with such manufacture,
and growing out of such expert
ment? The resolutions we're ad-
doptcd. Mr.. Farwell asked his col
league to withdraw the motion SO
as to allow him to introduce 4 bill
to perpetuate the National Bank
system. Cuilom declined, stating
that he made the motion because
he understoo it TO be the custom OF
Senate not TO receive bills until after
the appointment of committees. Mr..
Harris thought there was great wis,
dom in the position taken by the
Senator (Cul!om) If the door were
thrown open, he would insist that
there should be no restrictions on
the right. He hoped the motion
would prevail. FarweII, thereon
withdrew his request and the mos
ton was agreed to. The Senate at
